Work Detail

Contract Award For IGBT WRD Module MICAS-Re465 When Delivered In The 1990S, The Re465 Fleet Was Equipped With Inverters Using GTO (Gate Turn-Off Thyristor) Technology. The GTO Technology Was Replaced In The Early 2000S By The More Powerful IBGT (Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor) Technology In New Vehicles. With A Remaining Service Life Of The Locomotives Until 2040, The Existing Modules Must Therefore Be Replaced With Modules Using More Modern IGBT Technology Due To The Lack Of Future Viability (Discontinuation, Decreasing Repair Success), High Repair Costs With Around 15 Repairs Per Year And The Lower Availability Due To Defects. This Procurement Improves Repairability And Vehicle Availability.
